summer flying by...

It seems that the older we get, the faster time flies. Lot's of things have been going through my mind...like usual:-)

Life is stinkin' hard. People get sick for no reason. People die. People hurt other people emotionally and physically. There have been a couple of patients that just made my heart so sad. It's hard to realize that no matter what you do, they won't get any better. How do people get through life without faith in God?

In June, my friend Tia and I went on a spontaneous trip to Philly. Tia went a couple of days earlier and I was supposed to fly in on a Friday night. I flew with United and was not impressed by their customer service. My plane was delayed and I was going to missed my connecting flight in DC. No one made an announcement about anything. The United workers had poor interactions with people in line. My patience was trialed:-) I ended up staying in Indy overnight and flew out the next morning. After I picked up my rental car in Philly, I used my iphone to navigate me to the restaurant where I was supposed to meet Tia, Mel, and Tom. Mel still did not know I was coming to surprise her at the time:-) My GPS took me on a crazy route. I was 1.5 hours late for my "brunch" . Tia was playing with my phone and discovered that my GPS was on "walk" mode not "car" mode :-) oops. That's why it had me take small roads:-) It was nice to spend time with both of them. I missed both of them alot. We went shopping. We went to a beautiful garden. Though my time with them was short, it was worth it.

In July Annie and Emily flew to Montanna to meet me for a great trip at Glacier National Park. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit. I finally got to do the Highline Trail off of Logan pass. It's the most beautiful hike I have EVER been on. Gorgeous. The park displayed God's awesome creation. I was awed. God reminded me the He is God and I am not:-) as usual. It was a great spiritual retreat time. I'm glad I got to share it with Annie and Emily.

I turned 33 this past week and I must say, after 30, it's not as fun celebrating your birthday. I pray this year will break some amazing adventures the would allow me to grow closer to God.
